Yeah, iirc the developers, who'd spent bloody ages developing the world for the game, we're effectively kicked out during a hostile publisher takeover. They're seeing none of the money from sales, nor do they hold the rights to their own property.
I might be misremembering some parts here, but the main point is that the devs were fucked over, aren't profiting off their property, can't do anything new with the property.
